Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This ensures the ham cooks evenly.

Place the whole ham in a large roasting pan. Make shallow cuts in a diamond pattern on the surface of the ham.

Mix the glaze
In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and cloves until well combined.
Cooking
- 4
Apply the glaze
Spread the glaze mixture evenly over the surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.
- 5
Add liquids
Pour pineapple juice and water into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the ham moist during cooking.

Bake the ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

Rest and slice
Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Slice the ham and serve warm with your choice of sides.
